Northwest Arkansas culinary staple AQ Chicken will close its Fayetteville location Thursday at 9 p.m., according to owner Dick Bradley.

Bradley had originally planned to keep the restaurant open for at least a few days over the weekend, but he was able to help employees find other jobs quickly, he told 40/29 News. Because of those other jobs, he won't have the staff to keep it open past Thursday night.

Some of those employees were hired at the Springdale location, Bradley said.

Bradley confirmed to 40/29 News that he is selling the Fayetteville building on North College Avenue.

The Fayetteville location opened in 1991.

The chicken house's original location on North Thompson Street in Springdale will remain open.
